What are some ways to stand up for myself?

Q: Sometimes people make fun of me cuz they know I’m shy and quiet, but what are some ways to stand up for myself the next time I get made fun of. I hate depending on other people to stand up for me cuz sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. But can you please give me some tips? Thanks!

A: I know how you feel, I’m pretty quite and shy too, and a lot of people tend to pick at me because I seem like an easy target. But you have to remain true to yourself, which is something I’ve had a hard time figuring out…myself. But determine where your lines are. How far will you allow people to go before you consider them “crossing the line”? When you’ve established that understanding of yourself, you’ll ‘just know’ how to handle it. Trust me, when you stand your ground and let someone know they’ve crossed the line, they learn. People who are willing to jump on your insecurities and exploit them, have a lot of their own issues they’re hiding, and they’re just as easily intimidated. You don’t need a mean face or a loud voice to be taken seriously. I rarely ever scrunch my face up in anger and I never yell when people cross the line with me. I sound more like a parent when I reveal my boundaries. Just a simple ‘No.’ And if they continue on you keep saying ‘no, don’t go there with me, you won’t like the doors you open up.’ Oh and if they pull that scared, “I’m just joking,” bull sh*t, tell them you understand but sometimes joking can go to far, and that was a too far moment.Hope I’ve helped a little. Feel free to e-mail me if you need anymore clarity on what I’m talking about, I’ll do my best to help ya out.

How to get the confidence to stand up for myself?

Q: I’m tired of getting walked over. I imagine how I would stand up for myself against my parents being unfair, but when the time comes for me to do so, I chicken out and just take their emotional abuse. I’m afraid that being afraid of them and emotionally abused has caused me to suffer from major depression. How can I just get that whim of courage to fight back?

A: learn to devalue their insults.People who constantly attempt to put you down are suffering from emotional struggles themselves. Watchout for the trap. If someone comes along and says “you are a carrot and a yellow lemon!!” This statement carries no value right? You dont get upset cause you know in ya heart that you arent a carrrot and a lemon. that;s rediculous. DO the same thing when it comes to listening to the belitteling comments that they make. When they say “your a loser” or “you will never get anythings done right” or whatever remember that that is not what you believe to be true… you are no carrot or lemon… got it?
